a built-in LED Meter Module that
monitors system current and
voltage, and additional space for
installing optional expansion
components such as a Virtuoso®
Node. System-wide functions can be
controlled at the Rack, including
power up, power down and testing.
The Breakout Box supplies power and control signal
for three, four or six devices, depending on the
model. LEDs provide verification of the power and
data signals. The Breakout Box can be installed in a
truss with a choice of several mounting hardware
options, providing a convenient location for
connecting system devices. It provides two
DMX512 universes and one Ethernet output.
The Breakout Box is available in several power
configurations:
+ 15A 120V, 15A 208V, 30A 208, and 15/30A 208
(mixed).

trunk outputs, with each circuit
protected by an individual circuit
breaker, for the purpose of
routing power and control to FOH
Breakout Modules. Unlike the
standard Breaker Modules, the
FOH Breaker Module does not
offer a Menu Display, which is
instead located at the FOH
Breakout Module itself. The FOH
Breaker Module is installed
directly into the Rack unit.
Front of House A/B Switch
The Front of House A/B Switch is connected to a
FOH Breakout Module to provide a convenient
method for switching between two sets of DMX512
universes (A and B). With software v2.0, all input
universes are given a System Identifier, in addition
to a Universe Number. The default is System A.
Systems A, B or C can be selected at a Breaker
Module’s Menu Display. Systems A or B can be
toggled by pressing the appropriate selector button at the A/B Switch.
(System C is normally reserved for system testing and/or setup and is not
selectable at the A/B Switch.)
As an example, two universes from a primary console could be input into
the FOH Breakout Module and labeled 0a and 1a. Two (mirrored) universes
could be added from a backup console and labeled 0b and 1b. The system
outputs would be assigned 0 or 1 as appropriate. All universes from both
consoles are active on the network all the time, making it possible to verify
that both desks are up and running by checking the system status. A third
system (C) has been provided for an additional input, such as a tech
console.
The A/B Switch indicates the current system with state of its backlit
selector switches, even if this is changed elsewhere (i.e., using the Menu
Display feature).
Note: The A/B Switch requires S400 software version 2.0 or greater, and a
S400 7-pin cable.

Virtuoso Node
Virtuoso® Node as an Art-Net Input Device
The Virtuoso® Node provides a
powerful and convenient
interface between V676,
Virtuoso or Art-Net compatible
control consoles, pixel mapping
from media servers, and
subsequent control equipment
which require DMX512 control
signals. The unit accepts high
level commands in either
Virtuoso or Art-Net protocol and
converts the data into six universes of DMX512.
A Virtuoso Node running software v5.5 will also function as an Art-Net to
DMX512 convertor. In this case, the thumbwheel switch determines the
base Art-Net universe number, and the corresponding six Art-Net
universes will be output on the DMX512 ports, if available. As a S400 input
device, the Node also uses the current system to determine its output. For
example, if the thumbwheel switch is set to 010 and the current system is
A, DMX port 1 will output Art-Net universe 10a, port 2 universe 11a, etc.
The Node unit operates in one of two primary modes: Virtuoso Mode or
Series 400 Mode.
+ In Virtuoso Mode, the unit will accept Virtuoso protocol and generate
DMX512 outputs. Unlike the Node Plus unit, the standard Node does
not provide an ArtNet output port.
+ In Series 400 Mode, the unit will accept Art-Net protocol and convert it
to DMX512. In this case, its thumbwheel is used to map a block of ArtNet universes to the six DMX512 outputs.
When used with consoles running Virtuoso SV 4.4 or greater, the operating
mode is automatically configured by the Node unit according to the input
signal type. When used with consoles running Virtuoso SV 4.3 and earlier,
the mode is configured by the placement of a CIC programming jumper.
For instructions on how to configure the CIC jumper, refer to the Node User
Manual (02.9669.0001D).
The Node will disable any Art-Net output if it sees Virtuoso protocol on the
network.
The thumbwheel switch can be configured to allow the same universe to
be outputted on multiple ports:
+ 0-255 = Six single universes (at the switch offset).
Example: TW=2, DMX=2/3/4/5/6/7
+ 300-555 = Three pairs of universes at the switch offset - 300.
Example: TW=308, DMX=8/8/9/9/10/10
+ 600-855 = Two triplets at switch offset - 600.
Example: TW=621, DMX=21/21/21/22/22/22
+ 900-999 = All outputs for single universe at offset - 900.
Example: TW=909, DMX = 9/9/9/9/9/9 (this only works for 100
universes).
Note: The standard Virtuoso Node can be used with any Virtuoso or V676
software version.

Ethernet Cables
Fiber Optic Cables
The following is a list of standard Ethernet cables for use with PRG lighting
systems. These cables meet the necessary quality specifications and are
the only Ethernet cables that should be used with PRG systems.
Fiber optic provides the ability to transmit more information, more quickly,
over longer distances with high bandwidth, light-weight cabling. Fiber optic
can reliably send data up 2 kilometers away without the need for repeaters.
Due to the dielectric nature of optical fiber, this cable choice also
eliminates concern for proximity to Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency
Interference.
